#451433 Rocket Chassis Revival

Posted by BaconBits on 08 December 2021 - 06:49 PM

There are exactly three Longhorn that are fast (Overton, Davenport, McCreadie).Other than that, literally all of them are average at best. Ya'll need to calm down. If you aren't a fantastic driver (Overton) or part of the Rumley clique, you aren't shit.




#445503 Clinton Co. Nittany 50 Cancelled!

Posted by BaconBits on 03 October 2019 - 09:41 AM

Has he raced this year??  I don't recall seeing his name in any results.

 

Walt

 

 

He ran the World 100, but that's it. Decided he needed a new piece after that , and will be debuting a new Rocket XR1 this weekend.




#444955 Thought on classes to run on fridays at Lernerville

Posted by BaconBits on 06 September 2019 - 12:16 PM

Does what your saying about the WRG mean except for a few races there isn't any track getting a WRG date unless the WRG controls the gate and feels they will profit from the front gate.

 

No. It's a setup that's exclusive to Lernerville. Other exceptions to the norm happen at Charlotte, Volusia and Oswego. 

 

For the overwhelming majority of WRG sanctioned races, a track pays them a sanctioning fee and is on the hook for the entire purse for the the race. It's how the racing business has been done for decades.

#443370 Jared Miley, Brian Swartzlander & Sye Lynch Winners Tonight At Lernerville

Posted by BaconBits on 08 June 2019 - 10:01 AM

keep saying that as your lm's head to thunder mountain........1300's, and cars will show.......but hey, crates are filling the fields now.


Thunder mountain had less cars than Lernerville last night, but go ahead with your ludicrously uninformed opinions.

I hope it works out for them.




#440995 WoO Late Model

Posted by BaconBits on 09 December 2018 - 09:57 AM

I look at it this way. If Mark Richards can't get Clint Boyer's team turned around with Josh in the driver's seat then there is no hope. Clint is a smart man and Knows by having Josh in one of his cars will most likely give him the information to what he has been looking for to win races. If they don't have success with XR ones then there is really no hope.


Not just that, but Richards is maybe the most consistent driver in the nation. CBR is anything but. If Richards cant get them at least consistent, either wholesale changes in personnel need to take place or Clint needs to shut it down.


#440812 I feel like writing down how I think SLM's work

Posted by BaconBits on 20 November 2018 - 07:24 AM

DS, modern late model setups are all about sealing the nose off and getting the spoiler as high in the air as possible. The setups themselves are far from ideal, but the grip created by all that downforce compensates.

What happened to the late models? Guess we will find another track to go to. Which Ohio tracks will be racing this weekend?


Clinton County is racing Saturday.


#440414 Action Track Preview-10th Annual Steel City Stampede Is Biggest Yet

Posted by BaconBits on 18 October 2018 - 11:40 AM

Nice story and history Walt but most at the track today already know it the same as you.
 
 
I still think it's about time for open type FWD's. 
 
The ONLY reason for the story you told Wald is that's what people drove back then.  Today people drive FWD's, ain't no reason they can't be made to keep up with a winged sprint.  Get FWD's steppin out in the fast category and today's 'people' will pay their nickle to come through the front gate to watch.  FWD's are no step child, there about today and should be made into something special on a dirt oval the same as there made for the public/people something special driftin and other forms of motoring.
 
Weather you accept it or not Walt, everywhere else but where already mentioned emods are in fact modified's because that's what people choose to call them..
 
edit:  Ain't no reason instead of "the" big 3 it can't be "the" big 4.  Sprints, Late's, big blocks and FWD's.  Tube frame, engine up front with FWD, maybe make them look like a small SUV or something else to get some aero into them and let the mechanic/racers have at it.  Then when they get too fast reel them in a little with some stupid rules the same as was done to sprints.  Till then they should be no minimum weight and open max 6 cylinder engines so long as there FWD.  Why shouldn't there be open fuel, turbo and nitrous stuff on dirt ovals?  Keep livin in the past and dirt oval race tracks will be a thing of the past.   Wouldn't it be cool sittin in the stands at Lernerville when a FWD hit the nos bottle down the front stretch?    


This is the most retarded thing youve ever posted.
